Red light. Lame I know but I was so excited about finding out I have an ancestor that was banished from Manhattan Island in 1664 for running a disorderly tavern I forgot to take photos today.  Sorry excuse I know but I find this news extremely exciting!  ha!  The woman has quite the jaded history.

Day 244 (609)

A Dazzling Red Green Moment By far my favorite Red Green Moment to date.  For some reason I knew my camera would see the red of the sunlight through the trees.  Without looking through the camera I couldn't actually see the red but knew once I looked into the camera the red would be there. It was like I saw the finished picture before I even had the camera out.  Too cool.  Also, I like the fact the focal point seems to be one of the chimes on the wind chime and every thing else is undefined and blurry. The wind chime was originally suppose to be my subject matter and you barely even notice it is there. This is probably one of my more favorite photos in quite awhile.  I haven't been feeling very creative with my photos for quite some time so... Not beating myself up or putting myself down.  We can't be creative ALL the time.  I don't think anyway.  (:

  Love this city...     Today I spent some time in one of my favorite places -- south Minneapolis.  While out looking for the perfect spot to take a picture of the city skyline, I found all kinds of things waiting to have their picture taken.  Twelve really awesome pictures were taken today but this is the one I like best.  It captured the snow perfectly and the very essence of this part of town.  This was taken while sitting at a red light on Lyndale at Lake Street.  As Jonny Lang sings in Red Light:   "A chance to breathe While sitting at a red light You look around reflecting on your life..."
